Curtains in the Dark
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Watch how softly the curtains lean, then fall back again
Nothing in this room would ever let you down
Old wood holds you steady while the shadows turn
You are the reason this small house feels so tame

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world keeps turning
Here it cannot reach you, here it cannot call your name
So let your breathing slow now, let it fold into mine

[Chorus]
Avery, the dark is only resting, not unkind
Every corner of this quiet was made to keep you fine
Sleep can hold more tenderness than daylight ever knew
Close your eyes now, Avery, there is nowhere safer to be

[Verse 2]
Somebody set this frame here long before you came
Now it carries nothing heavier than your small warm weight
You breathe and the whole room seems to breathe in time
Nothing in this house has ever loved you less than fully

[Bridge]
Let the fabric drift like it has all the time it needs
Nobody is asking you to be anything but still

[Chorus]
Avery, the dark is only resting, not unkind
Every corner of this quiet was made to keep you fine
Sleep can hold more tenderness than daylight ever knew
Close your eyes now, Avery, there is nowhere safer to be

[Outro]
Somewhere the curtains are still moving, soft as breath
Sleep now, you are already held, already home
